Todays Teardown is a Ford 5.0L Coyote V8, More specifically, a second gen engine from a 2015-2017 Ford Mustang GT
My name is Eric and I own and run a full service salvage business called Importapart located in the Saint Louis MO area. Part of our model is dismantling and selling parts from rare and niche market engines. I've torn down everything from an LS7 to a Renesis rotary engine. There are several videos to watch! Check out my playlist of engine teardowns here:    • Blown Up Engine Tear Downs! A collect...  

This particular engine has a not so pleasant story behind it, and its rare that I get a story at all. Originally, this engine was sold as a drop out from a 2016 Mustang GT. The day it was delivered and a check was written for it, the person who wrote the check called and put a stop payment on the check. They then returned a DIFFERENT engine without the transmission, the engine you see here. Effectively, they stole a complete engine and transmission pullout.

As far as what happened to this, it looks like it was either boosted, or perhaps over revved. Maybe it sucked it water. With only seeing two of these at this point I don't have enough to go off of to form a conclusive reason. What do you think happened?

If you'd like to buy parts from this engine or others I've torn down, feel free to email me at [email protected].

Thanks for watching! I'll catch you guys on the next one!
